====== IclcdCreateChar() ======

''IclcdCreateChar()'' registers a custom character.

''bool IclcdCreateChar(uint8_t location, const uint8_t charmap[8], uint8_t device = 0)''

===== Commands =====

^ Command ^ Arguments ^ Return Value ^ Operation ^
| ''IclcdCreateChar(location, charmap, device)'' | ''uint8_t location''\\ ''const uint8_t charmap[8]''\\ ''uint8_t device = 0'' | ''bool'' | Registers a custom character. |


===== Example =====

This example connects a 20×4 PCF8574 character LCD at address ''0x27'' to the MPAINO-8A8R(T) I2C port. Change the ''IclcdBegin()'' arguments if your LCD has a different address or size.

<code cpp>
const uint8_t heart[8] = {0, 10, 31, 31, 14, 4, 0, 0};

bool lcdReady = false;

void setup() {
  lcdReady = IclcdBegin(0x27, 20, 4);  // Set the LCD address and display size.
  if (lcdReady) {
    IclcdCreateChar(0, heart);  // Store custom character 0.
    IclcdWrite(0);  // Write one character to the LCD.
  }
}

void loop() {}
</code>

===== Precautions =====

  * PCF8574 connections use the same mapping as the existing CLCD library: P0=RS, P1=R/W, P2=Enable, P3=backlight, P4~P7=LCD D4~D7.
  * Verify the LCD module's actual I²C address using its settings and I²C scan results.
  * SDA/SCL can share the bus with other I²C devices, but addresses must not overlap.
  * Do not run ''Wire'' transfers or I²C slave callbacks concurrently with ''Iclcd...()''. Iclcd transfers run at 100 kHz and then restore the previous TWI settings.
  * On MPAINO, using D20/D21 for external interrupts prevents simultaneous I²C use.
  * ''IclcdCommand()'' can change the LCD state directly. Use it only if you understand HD44780 commands.
